A child who is in sickle cell crisis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a child who is in sickle cell crisis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pain. In sickle cell crisis, vaso-occlusion leads to severe pain in bones, joints, and organs. The pain can be intense and debilitating, requiring prompt management. Constipation (
A), bradycardia (
C), and high fever (
B) are not typical findings in sickle cell crisis. Constipation is not a common symptom, bradycardia is not expected as the body responds to the crisis, and fever is usually low-grade or absent. Pain is the hallmark of sickle cell crisis due to ischemia from sickle-shaped red blood cells blocking blood flow.
